If you’re keeping score of Republican Senators who haven’t unendorsed Donald Trump yet, add Sen. Rob Portman (R. OH) to the list:
A growing number of Republicans — including Republican members of the U.S. Senate and Congress — pulled their support of Donald Trump on Saturday, with some calling for Trump to quit the race just weeks before the Nov. 8 election.
Meanwhile, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman has condemned Trump's statements, but avoided saying whether he will continue to endorse Trump. It remains unresolved whether he thinks Trump's comments in a 2005 video, in which he bragged that his power and fame allowed him to grope women with impunity, disqualify Trump from the presidency.
On Saturday, Portman's Democratic opponent, former Gov. Ted Strickland, called Portman a "coward" for not pulling his support. He said Portman's silence makes him complicit in Trump's behavior.
"Unlike a lot of other Republicans including [Ohio Gov.] John Kasich, who have the moral courage to disassociate themselves from Donald Trump, Rob Portman doesn't have the courage to do it," Strickland told reporters during a campaign stop in Lakewood. "And that says to me that Rob Portman is more concerned with his own political survival than he is about what's right and best for America. And that's shameful."
